The Carbon Reduction Commitment Scheme was introduced by the Government earlier this year and entered the statute books in April 2010. This mandatory energy savings and carbon reduction scheme affects any firm which uses half hourly electricity meters which use over 6000 MWH’S per annum.
Companies affected will be required to purchase carbon allowances based on their expected use of energy for the following year in order to be legally compliant.
As each year ends, the information is gathered by the government and converted into league tables which are in turn used to decide which refund rates apply to each particular company, thereby encouraging more responsible companies and punishing less efficient firms.
Whether you use business electricity or business gas, PH Energy consultants can identify whether you are legally required to join the scheme, and if so, can organise and control your entire energy portfolio so that the evidence which you supply to inspectors is compliant and transparent.
Furthermore, we can help you to forecast your energy outlay for each year and advise you on efficiency savings to be made so that you can expect the maximum level of repayments. Because of our expertise in dealing with complex portfolios we can ensure that your business electricity and gas supply is as efficient as possible so that you can expect the maximum rebate from this scheme.
It is very important that you take action now if you think that your company must join this scheme, as failure to do so is likely to be met with punitive fines from authorities. PH Energy consultants can take the sting out of CRC compliance and help you to set your records straight now.
